Adapting to water restrictions: Intensive versus extensive adaptation over time differentiated by water right seniority onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/aj…

New paper with Robert Finger. We discuss reasons for the lack of attractiveness of pest prevention strategies to farmers, especially those more risk averse or already adopted other risk management strategies, and implications for targeted policies. doi.org/10.1002/jaa2.45

This past week I, together with my advisor and PI Food Processing Innovation Lab Prof. Ricker-Gilbert, spent disseminating the results from our study on #aflatoxin contamination in maize in upper eastern Kenya. We met with and presented our results to officials and stakeholders in Meru and…

Market structure and resilience of food supply chains under extreme events onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/aj…

Forthcoming in the AJAE: "Consumer Preferences for Food Away from Home: Dine-in vs. Delivery," by Valerie Kilders, Vincenzina Caputo, and Jayson Lusk

Forthcoming in the AJAE: "Dynamic Model of Entry: Dollar Stores," by Lauren Chenarides, Metin Cakir, and Timothy Richards

After fighting for years for on-site childcare, I’m deeply disappointed at how AAEA has handled this. We were told we’d get 3 years of on-site childcare starting in 2020 as a pilot. We figured it would take time for people to learn about it and trust it as an option.

Forthcoming in the AJAE: "Taxing Sugar-Sweetened Beverages: A Nonlinear Pricing Approach," by José G. Nuño-Ledesma, Steven Y Wu, and Joseph V Balagtas

It seems the word has gotten out that using fitted values from first-stage nonlinear models can be useful as instruments in a linear-in-parameters "structural" equation. They can improve asymptotic efficiency and help, a bit, with weak IVs. #metricstotheface

Please join us in welcoming new faculty leadership in the AgEcon Department - Brady Brewer MS-MBA Director; Joe Balagtas Interim Director Center for Food Demand Analysis & Sustainability; Jake Ricker-Gilbert, Interim Associate Department Head; and Carson Reeling incoming Interim Graduate Chair.

Oh other thing. Reviewers are quite often wrong about things. It's OK. We're all wrong sometimes, especially when we only spend a few hours on an airplane while jetlagged. But given that there's a reasonable chance you could be wrong, maybe work in some humility/uncertainty.

Congratulations to #PurdueISF faculty affiliate Juan Sesmero (Juan Sesmero) of Purdue Ag Econ for receiving funding from NIFA! portal.nifa.usda.gov/web/crisprojec…

Workshop at Purdue in May for early career experimental economists! Your expenses are paid for, you learn new techniques and can present your research. Plus, you can stay on for our lab reopening conference celebration! tinyurl.com/yxsazrcs

I've been thinking about the dissonance between low consumer sentiment and the optimism of some economists (like me), and decided to write a few words about it in our @CFDAS blog. A thread 🧵 1/n ag.purdue.edu/cfdas/chew-on-…

Approximately 30% of consumers wrongly interpret "best by" dates to indicate food safety. And most of them also will ignore sensory cues (food smells and looks "normal"), and discard food that is past the date printed on the label.

Made it back to @Acre_Purdue to see last of submains installed. Thanks Netafim USA NutraDrip it will be a fun study as we recycle drainage water with SDI. Beautiful conditions. Even had a few extra supervisors! Dan Quinn Purdue Agronomy Laura Bowling Purdue Agriculture

We recently attended The NGA Show in Las Vegas – the largest gathering of grocery and food industry experts in the U.S.! The timely insights we gained will help elevate our continued research on consumer food and nutrition behaviors.

When testing models of firm conduct, weak instruments can threaten inference. We develop a framework to understand instrument strength, and a diagnostic to measure it. We show its empirical relevance in an application to testing models of vertical conduct econometricsociety.org/publications/q…
